Even if you’re not a person of faith, there are reasons to see Antoni Gaudí as a saint | Rowan Moore

I Do not understand the operations that people become saints, but the issue of amending the great Catalan architect Anthony Godi now Progress the blessing of the PopeIt looks strong. He was religious – tried to go without food for 40 days in simulating Jesus Christ, until his bishop friend spoke to him from potential death. It can be called the unprecedented fake that it designed in stone, iron and ceramics miracles. He even suffered from a form of martyrdom, as he was tramned while he appears in the depths of thought in his most famous work, the Church of Sarrada Familia. It is not just like burning at stake, a model of stocks, or the ends of the other old saints, but it has its own importance. The Gaudí mission was to find a spiritual meaning in the world of transforming industry and machines, from which the deadly tram can be considered as a representative.

A generation that cannot be defended

One man was not the saint. Eric JillWho was not an obstacle to the rape of his daughters. His work can be seen in many churches and public places, including his 1932 statue Prospero and Ariel Above the entrance to the original broadcast house. BBC, in response to the hammer attacks by an angry member of the audience, now she has Put a transparent issue on itTo protect it from more damage.

This is definitely the worst thing in the two worlds – it hurts whatever the integrity that may be from sculpture and architecture, while making the company look (again) like a defender of child abuse. The removal was a better option. Although it is correct that the great art can exceed the sins of its makers, in the case of a generation, there is a very close link between his evil as a person and his famous perception of young shows, which he sometimes used as models. If you know anything about a generation, it is difficult to see this sculpture, for a naked boy standing on the legs of a man who wears clothes, is eaters.

The end of the world when?

It is in time, Great Gatsby He must be 100 years old, to call a line from Daisi’s husband, Tom Boucanan. He says: “If we do not look abroad, the white sweat will be immersed – everything is scientific; it has been proven.” This is the position of the current believers in the theory of “great replacement”, and the book of screaming newspapers in British newspapers to the influence of Islamic extremism. Which shows that the tendency of the distinguished to believe themselves is always a deadly threat with us. The fact that its “scientific” predictions of the world’s racist end are still unrealistic, this right snow should be given a temporary stop of thinking. It will not, of course.

Call of honesty

“This is not the role of the court,” as the Supreme Court ruling is read last week on Definition of “Women” In the 2010 Equality Law, “Disconception in the Public Field Arguments about the meaning of sex or sex, nor does it specify the meaning of the word” women “unlike when it is used in the provisions of EA 2010.” She says this in the second paragraph, so it is difficult to miss these words, but a lot of the subsequent flood of reporting and commenting has ignored them, and behaves as if the court has already submitted such a wide ruling. In the discussion that affects the lives of many and sometimes weak people, it will help more honesty.
